Exploring the World of Unique Wines

Most of us are familiar with the three classic types of wine—red, white, and rosé. These varieties dominate the wine scene and are the go-to choices for many occasions. But if you’re feeling a bit adventurous and want to step outside the traditional trio, there are some exciting lesser-known options that are worth exploring!

Ever heard of orange wine? This unique variety is made from white grapes but with the skins left on during fermentation, giving it a distinctive amber hue and bold, complex flavor. And then there’s blue wine—a vibrant, eye-catching option that’s been making waves in recent years. While blue wine may not be as widely available, it’s an interesting twist for those looking to try something truly different.

So, if you’re in the mood to expand your wine horizons, why not give orange or blue wines a try? They might just surprise you with their unique flavors and fun colors.

Marisa Fancy along with her husband and four children dreamt of moving “Up North”. They had vacationed for years in northern Michigan and in 1995 they finally made the move.

The family was always out exploring, but with 4 kids there was some limitations on what they could do. Marisa discovered the amazing network of trails in Northern Michigan after Steve died and she would walk for miles. The trails provided her with peace, comfort and solitude at a difficult time in her life. Later, after meeting Guy who would become her second husband, she learned to golf and found another passion she could enjoy in beautiful Northern Michigan.

Marisa has been the family historian, writer, and poet for as long as she can remember. She has always loved to write and has now found a creative outlet for it other than family. You can read her articles in Adventures in Northern Michigan, Northern Michigan History and Golf Up North.
